[R] Source inside source

[Benilton Carvalho]

the smarter thing is to write a package, so you don't need source()  
at all.

but your problem will be fixed if you use the full path instead:

source("/home/user/dir1/dir2/file2.R")

(and obviously you could pass the path as an argument to whatever  
function you're using...)
